It's impossible to put into perspective what Brian brought to this community, because he was only a small part of the whole. But know this:
He was respected. Someone else mentioned it earlier, but those Tuconets are a good indicator that far more people liked his contribution than disliked it. In an environment that is built on cynicism and will become moreso as we all get older and more jaded, he was a bright spot. To lose his voice here, I'm not sure I have the words to describe how much many of us will miss it.
Godspeed Gravy-san. I'll be rooting for the Chiefs for you.

All I know for sure is I'm getting cremated, and I want 2 poems read at my funeral. "Do not stand at my grave and weep" (which is why I'm getting cremated) and "The road less traveled". Wife is going to do whatever she wants with my ashes. She's talked about dumping some at Cowboy's stadium at the base of Tom Landry's statue, using some to make a glaze for a bowl or a cup (yes you can do that, her sister teaches ceramics and she's done it before with one of her cat's ashes. It makes a pretty blue color that she likes), and she'll keep some with her.
Mrs Gravy, I'm not sure you're much older than the rest of us unless you were a cougar when you met Gravy. I would bet the average age around here is 40's or 50's. We just act like children.

Extremely saddened by all this. I think we were all hoping beyond hope that somehow he'd stay with us. Even though he was a dirty, rotten Chiefs fan, the sports forum will never be quite the same.
I can't even imagine what you're going through, Mrs. Gravy. Having lost one my best friends to suicide in July, take solace in the fact that you were able to "prepare" for this inevitability we all face. I'm slightly consoled by the fact that he at least got one last holiday with his family.

We are degenerate as all hell but in no way are we lowlifes (J49 aside, obv). The self-haters can fuck off. This is a welcome oasis of degenerate honesty and animal intelligence. A respite for the min/maxing master race of internet lifeforms. Gravy knew this. I know this. You think he thought himself above Rerolled? Hell to the naw naw. Mr. Potato Syrup had his eyes open. His feet were on the ground. He knew the majestic and primal beauty of this place, and so should all of you marvelous faggots. No homo.

Mrs. Gravy, while every indication seems to be that Gravy was an awesome individual that you were lucky to have had as a part of your life, I think we can all agree that Mr. Gravy was the luckier one. I've been single all my life (I'm 46, so don't fret about being older), but if I ever found someone even moderately attractive that could crack a joke about my cremation after I die, I would marry her in an instant.
Again, my condolences. I can't believe how hard it hit me yesterday when I read your very first post about his passing. The words you used literally almost brought me to tears. I'm so sorry, and I hope you can take at least a small amount of strength from sharing with us. Just don't let the inevitable jackasses dictate whether or not you stick around. Because there will be jackasses, trust me. The rest of us would love to have you around though.

I was hoping I wasn't the only one reading that post that way because for a second I thought I was a terrible human

In the short time I interacted with Gravy, he was very inspirational to me. I really admired that despite the pain he was reporting, he was trying his hardest to live as long as possible for the people he loved, even during the times he was faced with doubt.
Rest in peace, Gravy.
Rest in peace, Gravy.

I apparently have handed out too much reputation - like being the best house on the block at Halloween, with the full size Snickers bars.
As a Chiefs fan, I know how difficult it must be for you to wear the AV. Thank you for taking one for my G man.

It was heart problems, I think people assume if you are on hospice it has to be cancer...it doesn't.
To quote our favorite cardiologist from that day - Nov 9 (who I have to call yet, just can't do it, Dr.Greg Botteron - awesome fucking EP if anyone ever needs one) - "I can't do any more, your heart is too still"
I know more about cardiac disease, treatments, medications and procedures than a person should. I know where all the good bathrooms and waiting rooms and hiding places in the hospital are. I shouldn't have to know that, but I do.
